The Michigan legislature has passed
a divorce law that will stop the rush for
divorces. Under the bill just passed
there must be IN interval of six months
between the filing of Il petition and the
taking of evidence, and a divorced per-
son cannot marry within two years.
The legislation is good. There is ur-
gent need in many other states for n
similar law.

had failed to observe it.

Temperance Lecture.

Rev. ]. II. Byers, district agent for
Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carroll
ma, who is sent out by the National Pro-
hibition Bureau, Of which Gen. Clinton
B. Fisk is president, will lecture in the
First Presbyterian church this Thursday

Byers, who is the uncle Of the Rev. d. o.
Byers, so we'll and so favorably known
in our community, gained considerable
reputation as q prohibition advocate In

to us is all the more interesting just now
because IL people will probably have {
chance to record their votes for or agains
prohibition, some time during the coming
summer. Let our citizens all come ou'

Rev. Donald Mcdonald.

This gentleman, during the past two
weeks, preached o series of sermons in
the Second Presbyterian church in Jones
boro which for logic, clearness, and
force we have never heard surpassed, II
equalled In this community.
His sermons were argumentative, and
addressed to the intelligence Of his hear
ers and his illustrations were invariably
apt and well chosen.
Mr.. Mcdonald is evidently q man who
has not formed his estimate of men alone
from observing congregations engaged In
devotional exercises. but knows some
thing, we might add knows much, of the
general makeup Of the people, and while
here he showed q disposition to mingle
and associate with the people.
He called upon a number Of our bust.
ness men at their homes, their rooms,
or offices, and, we are glad to know
that his visits were not only appreciated
but enjoyed.
While the demonstrations at the churcl
during the meeting were not such a
ministers generally hope for and cxpec,
npon such occasions, the reverend gen
tlemen may rest assured that the reflec
tions he awakened in the minds Of tn
people were more serious and more last
ing, and the results are more substan
tial than those which usually follow NOR
demonstrative seasons.
Our people will always be glad to hay
him visit our town and be pleased t
hear of his success and welfare in life.

Mr.. Joseph Baker, Of Town House,

eident last week. While attending his
mill the sleeve of his overcoat caught In
the cogs Of the machinery. his right arm
was drawn into the 'cogs. and in his eff
forts to free himself his other hand was
caught and fearfully mangled by the
cogs. 1t was thought at first that ampu-
tation would be necessary; but 1t Is be-
lieved now that it will not, although the
bones of his arm below the elbow were
badly crushed and the flesh mangled,
and his left hand was almost crushed of.

Divided Responsibility.

There are. three brothers in the Pat.
rick family --one of the sisters is the
wife of Editor Medill, of the Chicago
Tribune-Abraham; James, an ex-
Common Pleas Judge, and Andrew,
q banker. Abraham (of New Philadel-
phia, Ohio), who read law here, tells
this story himself:
When the three brothers were boys
their father purchased litter of young
pigs of a particular breed quite uncom-
mon in those days. During their in-
fancy he watched those pigs with
very jealous eye, and would have
missed his supper at any time rather
than to have seen the porkers 60 to
their nests hungry. One day be took
Abraham aside and said:
my SON, I am called away on busi-
ness and expect to be gone week. I
want you to look after the pigs and see
that they get all they WANT
"All right, father" said Abraham.
Going to James, the old gentleman
said:
II am going out of towu for o week,
James, and while gone, you feed and
water those pigs, the same as / have
DONE"
"I'll give::them my personal atten-
tion, - said James.
Andrew" said old Mr.. Patrick,
asking the young man aside, az
charge you with the pigs. Don't fill
to feed them at least three times day
while l am away"
"You may depend on me, father; I
shall see that the pigs do not suffer-"
said Andrew.
Having delivered his commands, the
old gentleman climbed into his carri-
ege and took mp his journey. Eight
days later he returned. When he en-
tered the house he met Abraham.
"Did you feed the pigs?" he asked.
"No, James did," said Abraham.
Meeting James he asked: How are
the pigs?"
II don't know" replied James; can.
drew took care of them"
Hunting up Andrew, he exclaimed:
swell, Andrew, have the pigs pros
pered under your care?
"I haven't seen the pigs" said An
drew; "the other boys looked after
them
The old gentleman, with horrible
suspicion under his hat, rushed to the
pen. There, in deaths cold embrace,
lay the young porkers stiff and stark
